Platinum Member eastbournesmiths Posted December 21, 2021 Platinum Member Share Posted December 21, 2021 If there is space left I would definitely be interested in joining everyone for this opportunity to drive the plains. Depending on what day it is held Bailey JW will also be keen to come too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Member BlackRockRubicon Posted December 21, 2021 Platinum Member Share Posted December 21, 2021 Whoever is organising the trip will need to be mindful that vehicles travelling the plain and surrounding byways need to be broken down into no bigger than 6 per group. Ok to meet together before, during lunch and after. The ramblers, dog walkers and equestrian people don’t take too kindly to a lot of 4x4s using the byways in convoy. At the moment, there is a good harmony between us all and it would be great if we didn’t rock that boat. looking forward to meeting you all 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisby Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I will be looking at dates etc over the next few days and will update on this. We will aim however to have a date before the return of the arm forces to the planes and of course will need to be wary of any new Covid restrictions that might be in place at the time. I will be running a couple of all day routes between Christmas and new year for the local Glass group as I do every year , the plan will be to run the same routes (modified as needed closer to the date to take into account any restrictions that crop up in the time between). We will look to run groups of five vehicles, that’s four and a leader as a maximum and likely 3 - 5 groups depending on leader’s availability. All jeeps on this event will need a minimum of all-terrain tires, rated recovery points and water protection to ensure you can cope with the amount of water on some of the tracks. Also the plains are no place for anybody with a vehicle that is precious about the paint, there will be tight and scratchy parts to the tracks that we will travel on and therefore everybody needs to be aware and prepared for this. And get back to you soon with a date and then start confirming places et cetera. If anybody is experienced in leading a group and has suitable navigation Equipment, please message me if you would like to offer to run a group 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a bit of a 'noob' can I ask what is meant by "water protection"? Is that a snorkel or are there other forms it can take? If there are relatively easy mods I can make in advance it would be good to know before the Xmas break, as I will have free time between Xmas and New Year.

Platinum Member Caroline12 Posted December 21, 2021 Platinum Member Share Posted December 21, 2021 My raised Renegade has no problem with water or scratches ???? On the plain, it does mean being sensible and going around the obstacles???? Don’t see a problem. I have backed out several times and lived to tell the tale. Most of what I have seen is absolutely fine. You don’t have to go into mega deep water or sinking mud ????? just be sensible !!!! Or use common sense 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
